Do slugs cause biological weathering?
no
What type of weathering does plant cause?
Plants can cause mechanical weathering by growing into cracks in rocks and breaking them apart as their roots expand. They can also cause chemical weathering by releasing acids and other compounds that break down the minerals in rocks.

What is biological weathering
What are 3 causes of biological weathering?
One cause of biological weathering is through the organism lichens. Other types are caused by plants, animals, and exposure to acids.
How do weathering and erosion cause problems for people?
by it does
Do plant roots cause mechanical weathering?
Yes, plant roots can cause mechanical weathering by exerting pressure on rocks as they grow and expand, leading to the breakdown of the rock material. This process is known as root wedging and can contribute to the disintegration of rocks over time.
What can reduce problems with chemical and biological weathering?
Applying sealants or coatings to surfaces susceptible to weathering can help reduce chemical and biological weathering by adding a protective layer. Additionally, improving drainage systems to minimize the contact of water with vulnerable surfaces can also reduce the impacts of weathering. Regular maintenance and cleaning of surfaces can help prevent the buildup of organic materials that contribute to biological weathering.
Are humans the main cause of weathering?
No, humans are not the main cause of weathering. Weathering is predominantly caused by natural processes such as erosion, temperature changes, and biological activity. However, human activities such as deforestation and construction can accelerate the rate of weathering in certain areas.
What are the three major categories of weathering?
-Mechanical weathering -Chemical weathering -Biological weathering
What are the similarities between biological weathering and chemical weathering?
Weathering is weathering, no matter how it occurs. Both chemical and biological weathering wear down rock. They simply go about it in different ways.

What two natural events may cause a fossil to be altered?
Erosion and/or weathering (physical,chemical,biological).
